Gulfport drive-by shooting

Warrant issued for suspect in drive-by shooting

Gulfport police have issued an arrest warrant for former Miss. State basketball player Marcus Bullard involving a drive-by shooting.

Police Lt. Phillip Kincaid says no one was injured in the shooting that occurred about 4:20 p.m. Wednesday. Kincaid says four shots were fired at a car whose owner had just pulled into the driveway of his home. The car from which the shots were fired fled the scene.

The 38-year-old Bullard helped get Miss. State to the Final Four in 1996 but wasn't drafted into the NBA.

He pleaded guilty to crack cocaine possession in 1998 and received three years' probation.

Bullard later played for Venezuela, a U.S. minor league team, but went to prison again after he pleaded guilty in 2004 to cocaine and ecstasy charges
